We recently put on our bakers apron for a wedding in Texas. Our bride requested cakes as the centerpiece for each table and a small 2 tiered cake for the ceremonial cutting moment.
We loved the idea! Flavors and decoration were decided, the bride purchased cake stands with glass covers to protect the cakes at the outdoor reception-while allowing them to be seen as decor.
We had an ‘invitation ‘ framed asking someone at the table to cut and serve at the appointed time.
The goal was a more personal approach and a family feel. It created a “sweet” moment in the celebration everyone enjoyed!

Hint for today: Do not make yourself crazy trying to DO EVERYTHING. (Sage advice from a control freak -yes I own it😉)Today is a great day to get OUT! Going to shop for some simple elements for an upcoming event. We have the big picture but small tweaks to complete the overall look is the current goal, and our bride is needing to offload some of the small details. Happy to oblige…🛍️🛒!

You may have experienced someone planning their wedding who has a meltdown, or several😳. The emotion tied up in a day that gets built up to epic proportions can get the better of even the most “chill” person.
It’s hard to know what to do,
Often we want to rush in with a “fix” when really offering to simply listen and be in the moment as the person processes , helps the most.
The reminder that at the end of the day, “you will be married “ can go a long way in smoothing rough spots.

When you are planning your events consider buying favors and decor or gifts from companies that offer ethically made beautiful products. If your budget is tight, consider pairing back and buying a few quality items that reflect your values and your taste. Doing good is always tasteful and never out of style.

Why Fair Trade Matters?

🌍 Let's talk about a global movement that truly makes a difference: Fair Trade! 🌱⁣

Fair Trade empowers makers and producers around the world, ensuring they are justly compensated for their hard work and talent. 💪
By choosing Fair Trade products, you're supporting economic justice, sustainability, and social responsibility. It's time to make every purchase count! 💚

Can't believe than it is mid January 2024!!
We are planning an out of state wedding currently, which has me thinking.
Destinations can be a challenge because you may not know the areas best vendors based on what you and your partner are dreaming of and of course, can AFFORD.
Given enough lead time a professional planner can be a great asset in researching the area for you, utilizing connections they may already have and knowing the questions to ask.

Big or small, planning involves a lot of moving parts to create what will be one of your most important life events. A pro may be the best investment you can make.

Tis the season for outdoor events!
Celebrating outdoors can be a fine line.
This is an example of a breezy waterfront celebration and pretty much wind proof centerpiece.
If you MUST have things a certain way, outdoors is the least predictable environment for your event, and maybe its not for you.

Questions you might consider,
*will rain wash us out completely or is a tent or pavillion available? (and can I imagine going with the flow so to speak...)
*will a sound system be needed and how will your space handle electrical supply?
*uneven ground may be precarious for Grandparents or even folks wearing heels. Accidents do NOT make a great day. Think ahead of how to mitigate these issues to insure the best experince for everyone in attendance.

The list here should begin and end with how do we create a HAPPY, BEAUTIFUL and SAFE environment for our event.

An EVENT PLANNER may be the very best investment to insure your sanity AND success!

Today a memory came up of how we had to pivot an indoor event to out, during covid.
These clients are dear to me and had given me the honor of creating a wedding for their son. When they called again for a wonderful celebration of first grand baby, we were delighted AND challenged.

It was a strange time but we worked together and made it happen safely for all. And we had FUN. ❤️

Don’t ya love it when you get a deal? I was not sure I had everything to tweak decor for an upcoming event at the last minute. Went out thinking ‘hope this isn’t $$ added to the bottom line.’ Found JUST what I needed at 90% off!
Perfecting the plan AND passing along the saving to my clients is one of my favorite things!

Read on a bridal site; I am just ready to elope. So over trying to please everyone… 💔

A simple reminder is -IT’S YOUR WEDDING.
I hear a chorus of BUT MY MOMMMM OR Aunt Sue or bridesmaid Beth…
Nope. It’s about You and your partner.
Speaking clearly and honestly to those who are supposed to be supporting you is NOT being a bridzilla. You become that when you spend months suppressing your true feelings and/or trying to please everyone.

Take a breath, step away and think about the one who will be at your side for always. That is the only detail that TRULY matters.

Baby oh baby- showers for “firsts” or “sprinkles” for later siblings, everyone seems to love celebrating babies! A trend is the unwrapped shower. You bring your gift expecting it to be displayed while everyone eats and mingles and hopefully admires all the adorable, practical perfect gifts!
What do you think-save the paper or tie it up with a lovely bow?
